MITSUBISHI EDM FX-10 CNC WIRE EDM - 1996 - 5 AXIS WIRE EDM MACHINES

Technical Description

The Mitsubishi EDM FX-10 is a 5-axis CNC wire EDM machine from 1996, designed for precision machining with a substantial working envelope. It features X, Y, and Z-axis travels of 13.77", 9.84", and 8.66", respectively, complemented by U and V taper axis travels of 1.25" each, allowing complex angular machining with a maximum taper angle of 17 degrees at 3.93" work height. The machine’s table measures 24.8" x 20.86", supporting a maximum workpiece size of 31.49" x 22.63" x 8.64" and a maximum workpiece weight of up to 1,102 pounds, enabling the machining of sizable and heavy components. It accommodates wire diameters from 0.008" to 0.012" with a wire spooling speed up to 9.8 inches per second, ensuring fine detail and efficient wire feed control. The EDM is equipped with a large dielectric reservoir capacity of 105 gallons for stable machining conditions. Its control system is managed through an operator's pendant control, which typically integrates Mitsubishi’s 32-bit CNC control with advanced features such as graphic displays and submersible machining capabilities. This machine is recognized for its robust construction, precision cutting performance, and versatility in 5-axis wire EDM applications common in mold making, tool making, and complex part fabrication. The FX-10 is also equipped with automatic wire threading, wire guides, wire chopper, filtration system, and an integrated chiller for optimal cutting stability and efficiency. Overall, this model blends precise multi-axis control with substantial machining capacities suitable for demanding electrical discharge machining tasks.
